            "content": "Dear Portugal Textile team,\n\nMy name is Sebastian Pape, founder of the fashion brand PAPE, based in Austria. I would like to develop one prototype of a leather handbag and later produce a small first batch of 10-20 pieces. I understand that you work with a network of specialized workshops in Portugal and that minimums are set per project.\n\nThe bag (Style #0001): A large, flat, soft clutch of 44 \u00d7 30 \u00d7 3 cm, made of brown\/white hair-on cowhide in a 4 \u00d7 4 checkerboard patchwork, with an olive green handle (Pantone 18-0324 TPX) and a flap window through which the soft padded handle passes. The bag has no shoulder strap and no side rings. It is carried only by the handle, with the whole hand through it (min. 45 mm clearance). No rigid base, no feet, no stiffener. The PAPE logo is blind-debossed into the handle. Please see the attached Tech Pack: page 2 is the master reference, page 3 shows the logo and deboss detail, and pages 7-9 contain the tables. The Tech Pack also includes an olive green laptop sleeve as an option.\n\nCould you please let me know:\n\nWhether a workshop in your network can produce 10-20 pieces, and which workshop would make my bag\nTheir experience with hair-on cowhide and patchwork\nSample cost with a breakdown (pattern making, materials, labor, tooling, hardware), including your own fee, and whether it is credited against production\nNumber of correction rounds included in the sample price\nSample and small-batch lead times, and shipping cost and time to Austria\nMy preferences: I would like to approve the pattern or a mock-up first, and receive photos after cutting and after assembly. Payment: 30% deposit, 70% once I have seen the finished sample in photos or video. Please put all prices and terms in your written quote.\n\nThank you very much. I look forward to hearing from you.\n\nBest regards,\nSebastian Pape\nFounder \u2013 PAPE\nAustria\n\n\ufffc\n\ufffc\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (PAPE_Style_0001_Teckpack_6abf777e77615.pdf, PAPE_Logo_vector_6abf777e83d22.pdf).

            "content": "Hello Sebastian,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us and for providing the detailed Tech Pack for your leather handbag project.\n\nBefore we can proceed, I need to clarify a few points regarding your project:\n\n1. **Quantities**: Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) for accessories, including handbags, is 100 units per style and per colour. Unfortunately, producing a small batch of 10-20 pieces does not meet our MOQ requirements. Would you be able to increase your order to meet this minimum?\n\n2. **Target Price**: Could you please provide your maximum target production price per handbag? This will help us assess the commercial viability of your project.\n\n3. **Delivery Timeline**: What is your desired delivery timeline for the production batch? Please note that our minimum project cycle is at least 5 full calendar months from the current date.\n\nOnce we have this information, we can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nThank you for your understanding, and I look forward to your response.\n\nBest regards,  \nMatilde Azevedo  \nPortugal Textile",

As a young brand, I can only start with a very small first batch of 10-20 pieces to test the market, so I cannot meet this minimum at the moment.\n\nCould I ask for one favour? Do you know a smaller workshop in Portugal that works with small quantities (10-20 pieces) and hair-on leather? Even a name or a region would help me a lot.\n\nIf the first batch goes well, I would be happy to come back to you for a larger production. In that case, I would plan a longer timeline.\n\nThank you again for your time.\n\nBest regards,\nSebastian Pape\nFounder \u2013 PAPE\nAustria\n\n\n> Am 02.10.2026 um 11:21 schrieb Matilde Azevedo :\n> \n> Hello Sebastian,\n> \n> Thank you for reaching out to us and for providing the detailed Tech Pack for your leather handbag project.\n> \n> Before we can proceed, I need to clarify a few points regarding your project:\n> \n> 1.

Unfortunately, I am unable to recommend or suggest any specific workshops or manufacturers outside of our network that can accommodate such small quantities.\n\nIf your production needs change in the future and you are able to meet our minimum order quantities, we would be delighted to assist you with your larger production plans.\n\nThank you for considering us, and I wish you the best of luck with your initial batch and market testing.\n\nBest regards,  \nMatilde Azevedo  \nPortugal Textile",
